Hi!Judy!
Spell check is in OE:-
Open OE > Tools >Options >Select the Spelling tab, and select the option
to "Always check spelling before sending" > ok . This will have Outlook
Express run a spell check on your email before it is sent.
If you have problem in spelling:-

See OE Help>Spelling. OE does not have it's own Spell Checker. It uses one
from another application installed (e.g., MS Word).

Neither Windows XP, nor any other version of Windows, has ever
come with a Spell Checking facility. Outlook Express uses the
spell checker that comes with Microsoft Word, (or another
Microsoft Office program) if you have it installed.

If you don't have Word or Office installed, you probably don't
have a spell checker. However there are several downloadable
freeware/shareware alternative spell checkers that work with
Outlook Express and Outlook. Since I have no personal experience
with any of these, I'll let someone else recommend one.

On the other hand, if a Microsoft Office component *is*
installed, try the instructions at

Would that be a two-piece or a three-piece suit? Does it come with an extra
pair of trousers?

Spell check is in OE:-

BZZZZZZ - Incorrect. OE does not come with a spellchecker.
